In the process of automatic assembly line production, a conveying tool is required to be used for driving the workpiece to be processed to be conveyed on the conveying guide rail of the process, so that the workpiece to be processed can pass through the processing station on the conveying guide rail of the process and be processed in the process. After the processing of the workpiece to be processed in the working procedure is finished, the connection guide rail is connected with the conveying guide rail, so that the conveying tool is transferred. For example, in some embodiments, the docking guide rail transfers the conveying tool carrying the workpiece to be processed in the current process onto the conveying guide rail in the next process, so that the workpiece to be processed on the conveying tool can be processed in the next process on the conveying guide rail in the next process. For another example, in some embodiments, the docking guide transfers the empty conveying tool to the conveying guide of the next process, so that the conveying tool can receive other workpieces to be processed on the conveying guide of the next process. For another example, in some embodiments, the docking guide transfers the empty conveying tool to the conveying guide of the present process for receiving another workpiece to be processed in the present process. The empty conveying tool refers to a conveying tool which is not loaded with the workpiece to be processed. When the workpiece to be processed, which is loaded on the conveying tool, is processed in the process, the workpiece to be processed is taken out, and then the conveying tool becomes an idle conveying tool.
For convenience of explanation, the following embodiments are all described by taking the workpiece to be processed out of the conveying tool after the processing of the workpiece to be processed in the present process is completed, and returning the conveying tool to the conveying guide rail of the present process through the connecting guide rail, and using the conveying tool to continuously receive the next workpiece to be processed in the present process.
The conveying tool is provided with an initial station, a processing station and a termination station relative to the conveying guide rail of the working procedure, and the initial station, the processing station and the termination station are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the conveying guide rail of the working procedure. When the conveying tool is located at the initial station, the conveying tool can be used for receiving the workpiece to be machined conveyed by the conveying guide rail in the previous procedure, and after the workpiece to be machined is fixed with the conveying tool, the conveying tool drives the workpiece to be machined to move to the machining station for machining. After the processing of the procedure is completed, the workpiece to be processed is taken down from the conveying tool, then the conveying tool continues to move along the original direction, and after the connection guide rail is connected with the conveying guide rail of the procedure, the conveying tool moves to the termination station and is received by the connection guide rail, and the conveying tool can finally return to the initial station of the conveying guide rail of the procedure under the action of the connection guide rail and is used for carrying the next workpiece to be processed, which needs to be processed in the procedure.
The inventor of the present invention has noticed that a conventional automated production line is generally provided with a control system and a driving motor, and the control system controls the driving motor to drive the connecting guide rail to connect with the conveying guide rail according to a control program set in the control system. When a control program has a leak, the driving motor may break down and have a positioning error, resulting in inaccurate connection between the connection guide rail and the conveying guide rail. Therefore, when the connection guide rail and the conveying guide rail are not connected in place, the conveying tool can possibly rush out of the conveying guide rail to derail, and safety accidents are caused.
In order to alleviate the risk of derailing the conveying tool, the applicant has conducted extensive research and has designed a conveying device which can be applied to an automated production line and can stop the conveying tool on the conveying guide rail before the connecting guide rail is connected with the conveying guide rail and used for receiving the conveying tool. Therefore, the risk that the conveying tool rushes out of the conveying guide rail to be derailed before the connecting guide rail and the conveying guide rail are connected and the conveying tool is received can be reduced, and the safety of the connecting guide rail and the conveying guide rail in the connecting process can be effectively improved.

The automatic assembly line disclosed by the application can be used for producing and processing the workpiece to be processed. The workpiece to be processed can be a battery cell, a battery and other energy supply components, or can also be non-energy supply components such as a sensor and a valve.
Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3 together, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the transfer device 1 with the connection guide 22 and the conveying guide 11 not connected, and fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of the transfer device 1 with the connection guide 22 and the conveying guide 11 connected. According to some embodiments of the present application, an automated assembly line is provided, the automated assembly line comprising a transport device 1, the transport device 1 comprising a transport assembly 10, a docking assembly 20 and a stop assembly 30. The conveying assembly 10 includes a conveying rail 11 and a conveying tool 12, and the conveying tool 12 is slidably disposed on the conveying rail 11. The docking assembly 20 includes a docking driving member 21 and a docking guide 22, the docking driving member 21 is used for driving the docking guide 22 and the conveying guide 11 to move relatively, so that the docking guide 22 can be docked with the conveying guide 11. The stop assembly 30 is used to stop the transport tool 12 on the transport rail 11 before the docking rail 22 is docked with the transport rail 11 and used to receive the transport tool 12.
The conveying assembly 10, the docking assembly 20, and the stopping assembly 30 may be installed on the ground, a table, a base 40 with a carrying surface, and the like at the same time, and may be specifically configured as required.
The conveying assembly 10 further includes a conveying driving member, which is connected to the conveying tool 12 in a driving manner and is used for driving the conveying tool 12 to slide on the conveying rail 11. The conveying guide rail 11 extends along a first direction X, and the conveying guide rail 11 is further provided with an initial station, a processing station and a termination station in sequence along the extending direction. The transport means 12 can pass through an initial station, a processing station and a final station in succession under the influence of the transport drive. When the conveying tool 12 is located at the initial station, the conveying tool 12 can be used for receiving the workpiece to be processed sent from the previous process, when the conveying tool 12 is located at the processing station, the workpiece to be processed carried on the conveying tool 12 can be processed by the process, and when the conveying tool 12 is located at the termination station, the conveying tool 12 can be received by the docking guide rail 22.
Wherein, carry the driving piece and can be telescopic cylinder, electric telescopic handle or other telescopic power supplies. The conveyance tool 12 may be a structure having a holding space for holding the member to be processed, or may be a structure capable of engaging with a part on the member to be processed and fixing the member to be processed (for example, the conveyance tool 12 has a concave portion, and the member to be processed has a convex portion engaging with the concave portion). The conveying tool 12 is also known in the art, and therefore will not be described herein.
The connection driving member 21 is the driving motor. Alternatively, the docking drive 21 may be only in transmission connection with the conveying rail 11 and configured to drive the conveying rail 11 to move the conveying tool 12, so that the docking rail 22 can be docked with the conveying rail 11. Alternatively, the docking drive 21 may be in transmission connection with only the docking guide 22 and is configured to drive the docking guide 22 to move, so that the docking guide 22 can be docked with the conveying guide 11. Or, the connection driving member 21 is simultaneously in transmission connection with the conveying guide rail 11 and the connection guide rail 22, and is used for synchronously driving the connection guide rail 22 and the conveying guide rail 11 to move, so as to realize connection between the connection guide rail 22 and the conveying guide rail 11. After the docking guide 22 is docked with the conveying guide 11, the conveying tool 12 on the conveying guide 11 can be pushed onto the docking guide 22 under the action of the conveying driving member. The movement of the transport rail 11 and/or the docking rail 22, which is in driving connection with the docking drive 21, may be a translation, a swing or another form of movement, which is in particular relevant for the selection of the docking drive 21.
For convenience of illustration, the following embodiments are all described by taking as an example that the docking guide 22 extends along the first direction X, and the docking driving member 21 drives the docking guide 22 to translate along the second direction Y intersecting with the first direction X to realize docking with the conveying guide 11.
The stopping assembly 30 includes a stopping driving member and a stopping member 32, and the stopping driving member is in transmission connection with the stopping member 32 and is used for driving the stopping member 32 to stop the conveying tool 12 on the conveying guide rail 11 before the connecting guide rail 22 is connected with the conveying guide rail 11. Specifically, the stop drive may effect stopping of the conveyance 12 by the stop 32 by driving the stop 32 to translate, rotate, or otherwise.
In some embodiments, the gear stop drive may be a mechanical drive, in other embodiments, the gear stop drive may be an electrically controlled drive. The mechanical driving component is a driving structure which can drive the gear stop 32 to move under the condition that the mechanical driving component is not electrified, and the electric control driving component is a driving structure which can drive the gear stop 32 to work only under the condition that the electric control driving component is electrified.
In actual operation, the conveying tool 12 is first located at an initial station, and after receiving the workpiece to be processed completed in the previous process, the conveying driving member drives the conveying tool 12 to drive the workpiece to be processed to slide on the conveying guide rail 11 to the processing station, so that the workpiece to be processed can be processed. After the processing is completed, the external transfer device (such as a three-axis robot) removes the workpiece to be processed, and the conveying driving member pushes the conveying tool 12 to move continuously along the original direction. Before the docking guide 22 is docked with the end station of the conveying guide 11, the stop driving member drives the stop 32 to stop the conveying tool 12 on the conveying guide 11. When the docking guide 22 is docked with the termination station of the conveying guide 11, the stop driving member drives the stop member 32 to release the stop, and the conveying tool 12 moves onto the docking guide 22 under the action of the conveying driving member and is received by the docking guide 22. The docking guide 22 is then docked with the conveyor guide 11 at the initial station to which the conveyor tool 12 can be advanced by the conveyor drive.
The docking guide 22 docked with the termination station of the conveying guide 11 and the docking guide 22 docked with the initial station of the conveying guide 11 may be the same or different, and may be specifically configured as required.
Taking the docking assembly 20 and the conveying assembly 10 as an example, the docking driving member 21 drives the docking guide 22 to dock with the end station of the conveying guide 11 to receive the conveying tool 12, and then the docking driving member 21 drives the docking guide 22 to move and dock with the initial station of the conveying guide 11, so that the conveying tool 12 on the docking guide 22 can return to the initial station of the conveying guide 11 under the action of the conveying driving member.
Taking the two sets of the docking assemblies 20 and the one set of the conveying assemblies 10 as an example, the docking driving member 21 of the first set of the docking assembly 20 drives the docking guide 22 in the same set to dock with the end station of the conveying guide 11 to dock with the conveying tool 12, and then the docking driving member 21 of the second set of the docking assembly 20 drives the docking guide 22 in the same set to dock with the conveying tool 12 on the docking guide 22 of the first set of the docking assembly 20, and the docking guide 22 of the second set of the docking assembly 20 moves and docks with the initial station of the conveying guide 11 to enable the conveying tool 12 to return to the conveying guide 11 again.
In this application, before the docking guide 22 docks with the conveying guide 11 and receives the conveying tool 12, since the stopping assembly 30 can stop the conveying tool 12 on the conveying guide 11, the risk that the conveying tool 12 rushes out of the conveying guide 11 and is derailed can be reduced, so that the safety of the docking guide 22 in the docking process with the conveying guide 11 is improved.
In some embodiments of the present application, the stopping assembly 30 includes a base 31 and a stopping member 32, and the stopping member 32 is movably connected to the base 31; the stop piece 32 has a non-stop position and a stop position for stopping the conveying tool 12, and the stop piece 32 moves relative to the base 31 and can be switched between the stop position and the non-stop position; when the docking guide 22 is not docked with the conveying guide 11 and does not receive a conveying tool, the stopping member 32 is in the stopping position, and when the docking guide 22 is docked with the conveying guide 11 but does not receive the conveying tool 12, the stopping member 32 is in the non-stopping position.
When the stopping member 32 is in the stopping position, the stopping member 32 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the transport tool 12 in the first direction X, and the transport tool 12 transports the guide rail 11 to stop the transport tool 12. When the stop 32 is in the non-stop position, the forward projection of the stop 32 and the conveyance tool 12 in the first direction X does not overlap, and the stop 32 cannot stop the conveyance tool 12.
Before the docking guide 22 is docked with the end station of the transport guide 11, the stop 32 is in the stop position, so that the transport tool 12 can be stopped on the transport guide 11. After the docking guide 22 is docked with the termination station of the conveying guide 11, the stop 32 is in the non-stop position, so that the conveying tool 12 can move onto the docking guide 22 under the action of the conveying driving part, thereby improving the reliability of docking and the safety of docking.
In some embodiments of the present application, the stopping member 32 includes a rod 321 and a buffer portion 322, one end of the rod 321 is movably connected to the base 31, and the buffer portion 322 is disposed at one end of the rod 321 away from the base 31; the buffer 322 is used to stop the conveyance tool 12 when the stop 32 is in the stop position.
The rod 321 may be made of alloy, plastic, wood or other materials. The rod body 321 needs to have superior rigidity in order to support the buffer portion 322. The buffer 322 may be made of rubber, silicone, sponge, or the like. The buffer 322 and the rod 321 may be connected to each other by clamping, bonding, magnetic attraction, or the like.
Through the arrangement of the buffer portion 322, the buffer portion 322 can absorb the impact force generated when the buffer portion collides with the conveying tool 12, so that the damage to the conveying tool 12 and the rod 321 can be reduced, and the service lives of the conveying tool 12 and the stopper 32 can be prolonged.
In some embodiments of the present application, stop 32 is rotatably coupled to base 31; the stop 32 rotates relative to the base 31 and shifts between a stop position and a non-stop position.
Specifically, one end of the rod 321 is rotatably connected to the base 31 through a rotating shaft, a hinge, a spherical pair, and the like.
Wherein the gear stop 32 is rotationally driven by the gear stop drive. The stop member 32 is rotatable in a forward direction (as indicated by arrow a in fig. 2 for example) relative to the base 31, the stop member 32 is switchable from the out-of-stop position to the stop position, the stop member 32 is rotatable in a reverse direction (as indicated by arrow b in fig. 2 for example) relative to the base 31, and the stop member 32 is switchable from the stop position to the out-of-stop position.
The position of the stop 32 is switched by rotation, and compared with the translation, the volume required by the stop 32 in the process of switching the position by rotation is smaller than that required by translation, thereby contributing to the compactness of the structure of the transmission device 1.
For convenience of description, the following embodiments are all described by taking the example that the stop 32 rotates relative to the base 31 to switch the positions.
In some embodiments of the present application, the stop assembly 30 further includes a support 33, and the support 33 is coupled to the base 31 and is used for supporting the stop 32 when the stop 32 rotates to the stop position.
For example, the support member 33 may be a support platform, a support rod, a support base, or other structure.
The support member 33 may be fixed to the base 31 and always support the stopper 32 at the same position. Alternatively, the supporting member 33 may be movably disposed on the base 31, and the supporting member 33 has non-supporting positions and supporting positions for supporting the stopper 32, which are spaced along a third direction Z, which intersects with both the first direction X and the second direction Y. Taking fig. 2 as an example, the first direction X is a front-rear direction, the second direction Y is a left-right direction, and the third direction Z is an up-down direction. The support 33 is movable relative to the base 31 between a non-supporting position and a supporting position. When the supporting member 33 is located at the non-supporting position, the supporting member 33 cannot support the stopper 32 regardless of whether the stopper 32 is located at the stopping position, and when the supporting member 33 is located at the supporting position, the stopper 32 located at the stopping position can be supported. When the stopper 32 is in the non-stop position, the support member 33 is in the non-support position, and when the stopper 32 is in the stop position, the support member 33 is in the support position.
By providing the supporting member 33, on one hand, the supporting member 33 can prevent the stopping member 32 from continuing to rotate when the stopping member 32 rotates to the stopping position, so that the stopping member 32 can stop at the stopping position and stop the conveying tool 12; on the other hand, the support member 33 can also stably support the stopper 32 in the stopping position, thereby contributing to the improvement of the stopping stability of the stopper 32.
In some embodiments of the present application, the supporting member 33 has a supporting body and a telescopic portion coupled to the supporting body, the stop 32 has a plurality of different stop positions, and the telescopic portion is telescopic relative to the supporting body to support the stop 32 at the different stop positions.
Specifically, the telescopic part is telescopic in the third direction Z relative to the telescopic body to support the stoppers 32 at different stopper positions.
The support member 33 may be a hydraulic cylinder, the support body is a cylinder structure of the hydraulic cylinder, and the expansion portion is a piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder. For another example, the support member 33 is an electric telescopic rod, the support body is a fixed portion of the electric telescopic rod, and the extensible portion is an extensible rod portion of the electric telescopic rod that is extensible relative to the fixed portion.
In practice, the stop 32 is moved to a plurality of stop positions. When the stop 32 is in different stop positions, the overlapping area of the stop 32 and the orthographic projection of the conveying tool 12 in the first direction X is different. The larger the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the stopper 32 and the conveying tool 12 in the first direction X, the better the stopping effect of the stopper 32, and the smaller the overlapping area of the stopper 32 and the orthographic projection of the conveying tool 12 in the first direction X, the weaker the stopping effect of the stopper 32.
By adjusting the length of the support member 33, the support member 33 can support the stop members 32 at different stop positions, so that the stop members 32 can be stably supported at the proper stop positions and have a large overlapping area with the orthographic projection of the conveying tool 12 in the first direction X.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the pushing element 23 and the stopping element 30 of the transmission device 1 of the present application. In some embodiments of the present application, the docking assembly 20 further comprises a pusher 23 disposed on the docking guide rail 22. The connection guide rail 22 has a connection position connected with the conveying guide rail 11 and a non-connection position not connected with the conveying guide rail 11, and the connection guide rail 22 moves relative to the conveying guide rail 11 to switch between the connection position and the non-connection position; during the movement of the docking guide 22 from the non-docking position to the docking position, the pushing member 23 pushes the stopping member 32 to move from the stopping position to the non-stopping position.
Specifically, when the docking guide 22 is located before the non-docking position, the docking guide 22 is not docked with the conveyor guide 11. At this time, although the pushing member 23 acts on the stopper 32 and pushes the stopper 32 to move, the stopper 32 is always in the stopper position. When the docking guide 22 is moved to the docking position, the pushing member 23 pushes the blocking member 32 to the non-blocking position, so that the conveying tool 12 can slide onto the docking guide 22 under the action of the conveying driving member. Then, the docking guide 22 is separated from the conveying guide 11 by the docking driving member 21 and gradually moves away from the docking guide 22, and the stopping member 32 reversely rotates and returns to the stopping position to stop the conveying tool 12 subsequently returned to the conveying guide 11.
Wherein the pushing member 23 is fixed on the docking guide 22 and moves synchronously with the docking guide 22. The pusher 23 is part of the above-described stop drive. That is, the stop driving member includes other parts in addition to the pushing member 23, which will be described later.
It can be seen that in the present application, the pushing element 23 is a mechanical pushing element 23, and the pushing element 23 can automatically push the stop 32 away during the movement of the docking guide 22 relative to the conveying guide 11, so that the docking guide 22 can be docked with the conveying guide 11. The mode is simple and convenient to operate, the pushing piece 23 is not an electric control part, the pushing piece 23 is slightly influenced by a control program, the fault frequency is low, and the reliability of switching the gear stopping piece 32 from the gear stopping position to the non-gear stopping position is improved.
In some embodiments of the present application, the conveying rail 11 extends along a first direction X, the width direction of the conveying rail 11 is a second direction Y intersecting the first direction X, the pushing member 23 has a pushing inclined surface 231, a height difference exists between the pushing inclined surface 231 and a third direction Z intersecting the first direction X and the second direction Y, and the pushing inclined surface 231 is used for pushing the stopper 32 to translate or rotate.
Taking the example that the pushing slope 231 is used for pushing the stopping member 32 to translate, the stopping position and the non-stopping position are also arranged along the second direction Y. For example, the stopping member 32 may be provided with a stopping inclined surface, and the pushing inclined surface 231 is parallel to and attached to the stopping inclined surface. During the movement of the docking assembly 20 in the second direction Y and close to the conveying track 11, the pushing inclined surface 231 engages with the blocking inclined surface and pushes the blocking stop 32 to move in the second direction Y, so that the blocking stop 32 is gradually close to the non-blocking position from the blocking position. When the docking assembly 20 is docked with the conveying track 11, the blocking stop 32 moves to the non-blocking position. After the docking guide 22 receives the transport tool 12, the docking guide 22 moves in the second direction Y and transports the guide rail 11 so that the push slope 231 can be separated from the stopping slope. At this point, the stop member 32 is no longer controlled by the push member 23 to return to the stop position.
Taking the example that the pushing inclined surface 231 is used for pushing the stopping member 32 to rotate, during the movement of the docking assembly 20 along the second direction Y and close to the conveying guide 11, the pushing inclined surface 231 pushes the stopping member 32 to rotate reversely, so that the stopping member 32 gradually approaches from the stopping position to the non-stopping position. When the docking assembly 20 is docked with the conveying track 11, the stop 32 is rotated in the reverse direction to the non-stop position. When the docking rail 22 receives the transport tool 12, the docking rail 22 moves in the second direction Y and away from the transport rail 11 so that the push ramp 231 can be disengaged from the stopper 32. The stop assembly 30 is no longer controlled by the push member 23 to return to the stop position to receive the next workpiece to be processed.
Through setting up and promoting inclined plane 231, no matter keep off piece 32 translation or rotation relative base 31, the homoenergetic is promoted by promoting inclined plane 231 to promote the reliability that keeps off the switching of 32 position, and made keep off the connected mode of piece 32 and base 31 also more various.

That is to say, the rod 321 is rotatably connected to the base 31, and the pushing inclined plane 231 pushes the rolling portion 323 to roll relative to the rod 321, so that the stopping member 32 can be switched from the stopping position to the non-stopping position.
The rolling part 323 may be a roller, a ball, or other forms.
By providing the rolling portion 323, the friction force between the rolling portion 323 and the push slope 231 is small, so that the abrasion between the push slope 231 and the stopper 32 can be reduced, which facilitates to prolong the service life of the transmission device 1.

The reset member 34 and the push member 23 are combined to form the above-mentioned stop driving member. And two opposite ends of the reset piece 34 are respectively rotatably connected with the base 31 and the stop piece 32.
The reset piece 34 is a spring, and the spring stretches and stores elastic potential energy in the process that the pushing piece 23 pushes the blocking and stopping piece 32 to switch from the blocking and stopping position to the non-blocking and stopping position, after the connecting guide rail 22 receives the conveying tool 12, the connecting guide rail 22 is away from the conveying guide rail 11 in the second direction Y, so that the pushing piece 23 is separated from the blocking and stopping piece 32, and at this time, the spring releases the elastic potential energy, so that the blocking and stopping rod can reset to the blocking and stopping position, and the next blocking and stopping can be performed.
Reset 34 and be mechanical component, through setting up reset 34, not only can realize keeping off the automatic re-setting of stopping 32, and reset 34 still not control the influence of procedure to can reduce the fault incidence who resets, help promoting and keep off the reliability and the security that 32 keeps off and stop.

Next, the specific operation of the transfer device 1 in this embodiment will be described in detail.
Taking two sets of the conveying assemblies 10 and the docking assembly 20 as an example, in fig. 1, the conveying assembly 10 on the right side is defined as a first conveying assembly 10a, the conveying assembly 10 on the left side is defined as a second conveying assembly 10b, the stopping assembly 30 corresponding to the first conveying assembly 10a is defined as a first stopping assembly 30a, the stopping assembly 30 corresponding to the second conveying assembly 10b is defined as a second stopping assembly 30b, the first stopping assembly 30a is disposed adjacent to the termination station of the first conveying assembly 10a, the second stopping assembly 30b is disposed adjacent to the termination station of the second conveying assembly 10b, the initial station, the processing station and the termination station on the conveying guide rail 11 in each set of the first conveying assembly 10a are disposed along a first sub-direction X1 of the first direction X, the initial station, the processing station and the termination station on the conveying guide rail 11 in the second conveying assembly 10b are disposed along a second sub-direction X2 of the first direction X1, and the second sub-direction X2 are opposite.
